Reviews of the T-Mobile Dash (aka HTC Excalibur)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The T-Mobile Dash has a sleek design with a vibrant color screen and features integrated Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi; push e-mail capabilities; multimedia functions; and a 1.3-megapixel camera. The quadband smart phone also has good call quality and extralong talk time battery life.
The Bad: The T-Mobile Dash's volume touch strip isn't always responsive. The camera interface is also confusing and picture quality is subpar.
The Bottom Line: With a sleek design, good performance, and a robust set of productivity and wireless options, the T-Mobile Dash is an all-in-one hit and earns its reputation as a Motorola Q killer.
